Founder’s Story
This service is perfect for business owners, start-up founders and entrepreneurs who want to leverage the power of their brand.
Everyone has a story. Not just a single tale; rather a collection of antidotes – plural! So many that it can feel overwhelming to choose the best stories to showcase who you are and why you do what you do. Understanding which story to tell makes you memorable and helps you stand out to your audience. It builds credibility, trust, and recognition, which is essential for building successful relationships with clients, customers, and partners.
Personal branding also helps entrepreneurs communicate their vision and mission. It establishes their reputation of being an expert in their field. This leads to opportunities for speaking engagements, writing articles, and being featured in the media, to establish their brand and grow their business.
A solid personal brand can help entrepreneurs to attract and retain talent, as it demonstrates their commitment to the business and sets a tone for the company culture. A personal brand that resonates with employees and clients can help to create a strong sense of loyalty and connection, which is vital for long-term success.
People remember stories, over information. Those brave enough to reveal the power of their journey become unforgettable. Own your founder’s story!

Testimonials
The initial training was a good reminder for me, but the gold was in our informal conversations about bringing it together and how you’d also done things in the past. It was personal satisfaction. I brought this all together. It’s a piece of work I’m proud of. I built it myself with your help.
Gillian Saxon, Change and Engagement Lead, Victorian Public Sector Commission
“I really appreciated the thinking space the process with Megan created for me. Her process and prompts helped me to gain clarity on my work in a way I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I valued the time to ‘think out loud’ and be pushed to think more deeply on what was coming up. It offered a lot of value, not only for the content we created together, but overall in how I position my work.”
Seanna Davidson, the systems school
